I don't know about you, but I can never have too many salad options in my repertoire. The warm weather is all about picnics and potlucks, so if you're still in search of the ultimate potato salad that guarantees recipe requests, this post is for you!

There are so many ways to spin a potato salad. I grew up eating Ensalada Rusa (Latin Potato Salad), a popular dish in Colombia and other Latin American countries. I remember eating this delicious potato salad as a side dish to Pernil de Cerdo(Roasted Pork Leg or Ham) at almost every party my family had in Colombia. And this salad is where I naturally gravitate when the weather starts getting warm.

Here are some of my other favorite ways to make potato salad:

1. Ensalada Rusa al Estilo Colombiano (Colombian-Style Potato Salad) by My Colombian Recipes: There are a lot of variations of this salad in Colombia, but I make the one my aunt makes and it is delicious.

2. Latin-Style Nicoise Salad by Laylita's Recipes: A delicious variation on the classic Nicoise Salad, with the addition of avocado slices, lime-marinated onions, cilantro, and serrano peppers in the vinaigrette.

3. Potato, Chicken and Kale Salad by Aunt Clara's Kitchen: This filling salad makes a perfect spring or summer lunch or a very tasty side dish. It's healthy, easy to make, and very simple.

4. Japanese Style Potato Salad by La Cocina de Vero: The perfect spring and summer potato salad, packed with flavor, a bit crispy, and definitely rich.

5. Ensalada Rusa al Estilo Chileno (Chilean-Style Potato Salad) by En mi Cocina Hoy: This is one of the salads always present at a Chilean BBQ, next to a tomato onion salad.

6. Sausage Potato Salad by Girlichef: A hearty and flavorful potato salad recipe for lunch, dinner, or your next potluck!

7. Ensalada Rusa al Estilo Salvadoreño (Salvadorean-Style Russian Salad) by Latinaish: "Ensalada rusa" means potato salad, but translates directly to "Russian salad." As it happens, it really does have roots in Russia. The popular potato salad is made with varying ingredients in countries across Latin America. This is El Salvador's version of Ensalada Rusa, featuring the bright color of beets.

Having a desire to stay connected with her culture and food, in 2009, Erica created My Colombian Recipes, a recipe blog consisting of Colombian recipes and many other great tasting Latin American dishes. Erica's hope and goal is that people from other countries discover Colombian food and learn more of its rich culture and traditions.
